At Solar Film, we offer window film options to meet almost any budget. However, for those who desire the absolute best film on the market, we suggest 3M Prestige Series Window Film. This film combines several benefits, including temperature control, energy efficiency, and UV protection, without altering the appearance of your windows.
Temperature Control – Prestige Series window films help maintain a comfortable interior temperature within your home or commercial space. The film accomplishes this by blocking up to 97% of infrared rays from the sun. As a result, up to 60% of the sun’s heat is rejected. Due to the film’s IR rejecting technology, interior temperatures can be reduced by up to 9° Fahrenheit in areas of direct sunlight.
Energy Efficiency – Another benefit of 3M Prestige Series film that is related to temperature control is improved energy efficiency. Because the film helps regulate the interior temperature of your space, your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard to maintain your desired temperature. In the warmer months, the film reflects the sun’s heat, reducing the demand on your AC system. During the winter, the film acts as an additional layer of insulation, which prevents heat from escaping through your windows.
UV Protection – In addition to blocking infrared rays, 3M window film also reflects up to 99% of the sun’s UV rays. UV rays cause fading and other sun damage to your floors, furniture, and upholstery. By preventing UV rays from passing through your windows, the film preserves your belongings and your home’s interior.
Maintained Aesthetic – Other films that offer similar temperature control, energy efficiency, and UV protection also alter your windows’ appearance with their dark and reflective tint. 3M Prestige Series films, on the other hand, do not detract from your windows’ aesthetics. In many cases, the addition of 3M Prestige Series film actually enhances the view from your windows. Additionally, with their spectrally-selective properties, 3M films permit natural light into your space, reducing the need for artificial light.
For those who also require enhanced security for their windows, 3M Ultra Prestige Series window films provide a cost-effective and advantageous solution. This variety of window film combines the sun control properties of the Prestige Series with the protection benefits of 3M Scotchshield Safety & Security Window Films .
